Liberty, Equality, Fraternity

A young atheist in black dress clothes is sitting down to eat in a small hot dog shop. Being nearest the door, he's approached by a homeless man. Homeless Man looks gaunt, hungry and dirty. If you drew a picture of a homeless man, he would definitely eat it.

"Look, man, I just wanted something to eat. I just wanna get a hot dog, so if there's anything you can do to help me out, I'd appreciate it, man." There is a look of desperation in his face that belies all the drugs that might be coursing through his system at this very moment.

The Catholic restaurant worker sees this and makes her way over in a kind of resigned, routine manner, as if she's sick of this already. "Nope. Go on and stop bothering my customers with your begging." People love to be accused of begging, so naturally a compliment war starts up. Atheist decides to end it, Gloomy Gus that he is.

Pulling a couple bucks from his wallet, Atheist says, "Here you go, man. Get what you like." Homeless Man takes the money.

"God bless you, man. Thank you so much." Homeless Man and Atheist talk for a bit. Homeless Man tells Atheist a hard luck story. Atheist sympathizes. Catholic Restaurant Worker tells Homeless Man to leave. Homeless man leaves and walks down the street. Catholic Restaurant Worker turns to Atheist, this close to wagging her finger.

"You shouldna gave him anything. Now he'll keep coming back," Catholic Restaurant Worker tells Atheist before grabbing a nearby chair and sitting a spell. Atheist digests this and goes back to the meal he has yet to even eat.

"You're not supposed to do that," Believer #2 pipes up from across the room in the same incredulous tone people give to someone vandalizing public property. "He's in here all the time. Now he's just gonna go down the street and buy some booze with your money," Believer #2 proclaims whilst sitting at a table with nothing at all in front of her. She may very well have been there since the dawn of man.

Atheist says with his mouth half-full of food, "Welp, nothing I can do about it now," Swallow. "Short of chasing him down for the money." Bite. Shrug. "Not gonna do that, so it looks like he got away scot free."

Catholic Restaurant Worker walks outside and watches where Homeless Man is going for a good few minutes, standing stock-still the entire time. Passersby notice her after a bit, wonder what she's looking at and look back. The statue speaks. "He's asking other people for money way down there," Superwoman informs the rest of the room before walking back inside and sitting down.

Atheist finishes his food and reads a chapter of the book about dead people he brought. Catholic Restaurant Worker and Believer #2 continue talking in a not-much-lower whisper. Atheist picks up his things and leaves.

Things we've learned today(or at least were reminded of):
1. Christians/Catholics don't give a shit about homeless people.
2. Homeless people may actually use the money given to them to buy booze and not food.
3. Neither gives a fuck about anyone that wants to help.
4. Thus, both sides are equally worthless to humanity.

G'night Everybody! :D
